Vee Bdosa Poet Sonnet

Sheltered In Alone

SHELTERED IN ALONE
Between the silence whispered in your head
and what you cannot see in front of you,
each morning of each day you know, but dread,
as if a curse is all your life will do;

you love to love, but hide away from it,
and sheltered in alone, you wonder why
somebody might see you, and stay a bit,
but all they do is look and pass you by.

Deep in your heart is love too seldom known,
it cries out for someone to make it shine,
and I would give my life for what you've shown,
but sealed up tighter than a cask of wine;

and though I know our love could never be
each time I see you, still it cries to me.
